Disgraced Colorado Springs pastor Ted Haggard is getting a lot of face time these days.

The HBO doc “The Trials of Ted Haggard” debuts Jan. 29.

And Oprah just taped a show with Haggard set to air next week.

But Denver masseur, body builder and former male prostitute Mike Jones, who brought down Haggard, isn’t getting good billing, he says.

He appears in the doc — but he wasn’t asked to be on “Oprah.”

“The studio was in contact with me but decided that I was not RELEVENT to the story now,” he wrote me.

He did write a letter to Haggard which was to be read on “Oprah.” You can read it in its entirety at blogs.denverpost.com/husted.

It ends: “My only sadness is that you have decided to make your comeback so publicly that (it) will open old wounds and new ones. My best to you and your family.”

In another e-mail to me, Jones wrote, “My prediction is that by February 1st, even my harshest critics will say it is a good thing Mike Jones said something.”

Mike Jone’s email to Husted:

AS MAY KNOW TED HAGGARD RECENTLY TAPED A SHOW ON OPRAH WINFREY. THE STUDIO WAS IN CONTACT WITH ME BUT DECIDED THAT I WAS NOT RELEVENT TO THE STORY NOW. IRONICALLY, THEY REQUESTED A LETTER FROM ME THEY WOULD READ TO TED ON THE PROGRAM. HERE IS WHAT I WROTE:

Dear Ted:

You have publicly apologized to me. I accept your apology. However, I cannot speak for the millions of proud gay men and women. I hope you understand the anger and sadness that overcame me once I discovered who you were. As a gay man who has fought for gay rights since my early teens, continually being treated as a 2nd class citizen, has never set well with me. I have second guessed myself so many times on my actions that I too have been brought to tears and loneliness. I believe you are a good person and could do so much more, my only sadness is that you have decided to make your comeback so publicly that is will open old wounds and new ones. My best to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Mike Jones
